Snatch Deads/Prowler High Low, Tuesday 120417

By chef, on April 17th, 2012

Main Course:

Snatch Grip Deadlifts

15 minutes to your 2 rep max.

As always, use your hooked grip and start getting used to loving the feeling. If you are new to hooking don’t do too much too fast, or you might achieve a ‘less desirable’ outcome. Foundations before Penthouses.

Think like your snatching: get set up, get organized and pull BACK and up, not just up. Do not change your foot position to accommodate.

10 x 40m Prowler High/Low SPRINTS!

2om high handles, 20m low handles

add 50 for women, 90 for men. Minimal rest between rounds. Get some FAST.

Dessert

Todays desert is savory: 800m run @ <75% as post-hab

Food for Thought:

“Every day people engaged in the clever defiance of their own intuition become, in midthought, victims of violence and accidents. So when we wonder why we are victims so often, the answer is clear: It is because we are so good at it.”by Gavin De Becker

“On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.” ~Friedrich Nietzsche

Snatch DL: stayed at 275 for a couple sets just to keep form and maintain hook grip. Ankle/foot was slow to get up to speed but felt ok. We’ll see how the rest of the day treats me.
WoD: done. Super hard getting/ maintaining traction. Much respect to the ladies of 6am! They put me to shame. I’ve got quite a bit of work to do to keep up with them.
Dessert: 800m powerwalk

Worked on very wide grip (very edges of the bar) and hook grip. I’m obviously not doing the hook grip right because it felt like I was crushing my thumbs and I don’t see myself getting used to that.
Prowlers are the one exercise that bigger guys have an advantage ( get some throw weight behind the prowler)
